The Mana World Forums

I think a combination makes sense. A wiki page to keep track of the living task board and forum topics about the tasks where it makes sense, of course linked from the wiki page. I don't think it's a good idea to end up with forum posts that need to be edited, that's what we have a wiki for. Ratstail...

I guess there are many more reasons for the lack of PvP, but it should definitely help if players don't kill each other in just 1-2 hits. A currently popular PvP game is Brawl Stars, where players usually need at least 4 hits to kill each other (though of course it has many more mechanics to make Pv...

Since I mentioned it on Discord already, I know at least we have some convenience functions which the scripts were never adjusted for: mes "[Dummy]"; mes "\"I'm a dummy, not dumb.\""; Can be written like this now: mesn; mesq "I'm a dummy, not dumb."; Though pe...

Let me just say I really enjoy seeing our quests get properly tracked in the Quests window, and it's great that you have taken this project upon yourself! Of course it would be nice if others will join in as well, because due to the number of quests and their relatively independence this task would ...

Is this new or has this always been happening sometimes?

While trying to revive the getitemname function I found out that it will not be so easy. The reason is that the server does not know the item name at all, at least not what is ultimately displayed by the client. Since the following changes, this name appears only in the client data: https://github.c...

I can not figure out why functions have been removed, just because they were not being currently used ? If they were not being used, they were not bothering anyone. This was 10 years ago, and we can only speculate, since no reason was provided in the commit message. I think it was likely just to re...

Hear hear! With the release of Mana 0.7 , the Mana client can once again be used to play The Mana World. Get it from manasource.org/downloads ! Check out beautiful Hurnscald at x2 scale with crisp fonts and Jewelry theme (Golden Delicious is available as well!): https://www.manasource.org/gfx/mana-s...

I think the solution is basically just to revert this removal of getitemname:

As of 21th of August 2025, the Mana client works again with The Mana World! Check out the Mana 0.7 release at https://manasource.org/news/2025/08/21/mana-client-0.7-released.html This project started early last year. It took a lot of time, but I don't regret it for a second. I hope others will like ...

Putting things in a database has a number of advantages, but how fine-grained this should be in terms of storing inventory or quest variables is another question. I think when you start implementing indexed file read and write you're probably better off just using SQLite, in any case.

Doesn't this implementation use disk files for anything. If everything is going into RAM, it does not matter if it is permanent or temp or player, or otherwise, it will all use about the same RAM. All player information should be left in the save files until that player is activated. Cannot have th...

We have a minor typo in the script for Ferry Master at Candor. He says "betwen" instead of "between". I've pushed a fix, thanks! Also pushed fixes for errors reported earlier by Speiros and Crazyk8e. Created an issue about out of date Joelin dialog: https://git.themanaworld.org/...

@Hello: This thread started specifically about local scope variables (so prefixed .@, and not temporary, permanent or NPC variables), which do not survive an NPC script suspend and resume, because when resumed the NPC script uses a new ScriptState instance without any .@ variables set. I guess we ha...

Well, you did it at least! I don't know why that URL wasn't working for you, but you opened a merge request at https://git.themanaworld.org/tmw/tmwa/-/merge_requests/308 and I've left a bit of feedback. Git is definitely not known for its smooth learning curve. I didn't stick with it either when I f...
